Belarus is actually only the 20th country by potato production. It produces about a fifth of what Ukraine or Russia produce, and 25 times less than China (yes, Wikipedia has you covered even there)

But I'm happy the Belarus potato meme leaves the Slav world and matures for the world stage :D

It's the love, not the quantity. Although Ireland still has it beaten imo.

Ireland potato consumption per capita is like twice lower than Belarus, with Ukraine as a close second.

I guess Irish learned to diversify, the hard way.

but that didn’t affect the position of Earth in any way

edit: I guess the lack of Peru could alter the rotation of the earth though

Soft but American currency

Don't potatoes left unattended in an enclosed environment get pretty hazardous?

So is it a blood bank?
